Not Really Hammer Related, But.....

I recently won an auction on eBay for the book, Amicus-The Studios That Dripped Blood. It should be arriving at the end of this week or early next week, but I'm very excited about adding this to my collection.

Hmmmmmm DH, is the book basically an unbiased look at the films or does it really come across as a non-fan writing the book? I can appreciate an unbiased view, but not one that overly condems a studio, director, actor, etc....any more than I really like an overzealous fan's view...gimme the good with the bad!

HF it just seemed to me that the author thinks, with one or two exceptions (The Skull, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors and Horror Hotel), he finds most of the rest of Amicus' output to be mediocre. I think its a little strange to write a book about a studios entire output if you think that the majority of the films are subpar. I don't mean that he rips into them or anything, he just seems to think that they aren't anything special.
